Online Skipper Course R & E - Pretoria

Without a skipper license in South Africa you cannot get finance to purchase a boat, insurance will not pay out when you in an accident and a person can be criminal charged if someone is injured. Authorities are now clamping down on unlicensed skippers in an attempt to make our waters safer. With more than 4,000 students through our training center over the past 8 years we have found that even the experienced boaters do not always know the rules, regulations and procedures to keep our waters safe.

With the fast pace of modern life it is not always possible to organize a day or two to sit in a classroom. In some cases, people have to travel far to reach an approved facility.

Who should do the online course?
Anyone, who does not have the time or facility nearby, wishing to write the SAMSA examination and apply for a skipper license.
A person who wishes to study beforehand and then attend a skipper course.
Anyone who wishes to have more knowledge on the handling of a water going vessel and does not necessary wants to write the SAMSA exam.
“Skipper assistant” It is a good idea to have a backup on board should something happens to the skipper. This can include anyone who cruises on a regular basis with an existing skipper. Someone younger than 16 can do the course but can only write the SAMSA examination after turning 16.
